STEM events in Bay Area (2/27/16)


Looks like it is STEM season!  Time for some weekend Science, Technology, Engineering and Math events around the Bay Area. 

Mother/Daughter Science Workshop
Have a blast exploring electricity! Mothers and daughters will work together to design and take home a magical motorized fluttering fairy. After a potluck lunch, while the daughters make a second exciting hands-on science project, the mothers will break off to share ideas and resources on ways to encourage daughters in science. Sat., 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Lake Merritt. $115/for two (mother/child). 5-12 (and their moms!).
